[PATCH 0/1] Poky License Reporting

[PATCH 0/1] Poky License Reporting

[Beth Flanagan]

Initial commit of license reporting:

This is an intial commit for the license reporting system. A few notes:
The LICENSE fields needs to be standardized throughout poky.

I've seen a few places where Apache-v2.0 is written differently and
I'm sure this will bug things out. This does not put the license data
on the rootfs. I'm still working on that capability. Also, I provide both
the actual license text and a link to the best guess of the
generic_license. That guessing is not very robust and I'm loath to get
into a bunch of pattern matching rather than standardize LICENSE.

This adds one new param to poky.conf and one new to license.bbclass:

LICENSE_DIR: the base directory we copy all the license results to (set
in license.bbclass)
COMMON_LICENSE_DIR: this is the directory that holds all the common
generic license files. currently meta/files/common-licenses (set in
poky.conf)

TODO:
- We should verify the common-licenses. I stripped these from my Ubuntu
  10.10 system.
- Enable ENABLE_ROOTFS_LICENSES. This is commented out in poky.conf. The
  code isn't written for it, but we should allow that capability, although
  the resulting image created would be a lot larger.
- More common-licenses. I don't include bzip, zlib, ICS.... I should,
  but that means tracking down a lot of licenses.
- General cleanup of licensing and standardization of names. We should
  standardize on a naming convention. What's in licenses.conf should
  match up with what is in the recipes which should match with what is
  in common-licenses. Outside the scope of this though. See:

Hi Beth,

I don't see any patches so guess you used the old-style pull script?

Reading this summary I'd suggest we standardise on whatever the filename
in common-licenses/ is. 
Furthermore we could (should) add a sanity check whereby a LICENSE field
with values that aren't a file in common-licenses/ causes a warning or
error.

Cheers,
Joshua

No, the patch was too big, so the listserv held it in limbo. :)

Good point, I'll put in a check for that. A question. Could the
LICENSE_FILES_CHECKSUM ever have a non file:/// URI? If so, could you
point out an example of this?

Not that I'm aware of, though we can always adjust code to handle this
if required...
